The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 302

Jin Se-jeong’s reaction actually confused me.

This request was a decision that could possibly cause my most passionate fans to fall away.

This is such an issue that even Jin Se-jeong in front of him can be disappointed and say it is a violent act.

I couldn’t understand the current reaction to changing something that took years of effort to change all at once.

“Hehe, and Choin-nim is participating in person? “Then it’s better.”

[Rather, it seems like he lit the fire?]

“….”

It was sad that Yongyong couldn’t refute his words.

How did this happen?

I thought Jin Se-jeong had misunderstood what I said, so I asked her again.

“If I do this, won’t the fans be disappointed?”

“Well, it might seem unfamiliar, right? Because a lot of things have changed from what I have been doing. In particular, worldview is quite important. “Here, we cannot ignore the sense of homogeneity that only they know about the world.”

“also.”

Jin Se-jeong understood correctly.

Choi Jun-ho in the idol world and Choi Jun-ho in reality are different.

Many people may be dissociated from that sense of disconnect, but I thought it would be better than blaming myself in a virtual world.

But why did they react in such a positive way?

When Jin Se-jeong saw me, the corner of her mouth curled up.

“But since you are a superhuman in real life, this is also precious.”

“Precious?”

“Yes, Superhuman, you have been lukewarm on this part so far, right? Just the fact that you came forward like this is something that fans will be thrilled about!”

“….”

I feel dizzy.

Jin Se-jeong and the people who are my fans may be stronger enemies than I thought.

[and! This is my first time seeing your scared face.]

I wasn’t scared, but it was true that I felt extremely dizzy at that moment.

Because I have a thought circuit that my head cannot understand. The only person who felt interrupted like this while talking was Jin Se-jeong.

“But you will have to understand this.”

“What is it?”

“Because it is impossible to capture the actions of a superhuman 100%. “It seems like a proper adaptation is needed.”

“All right.”

I guess I should understand this.

But I thought it wouldn’t be easy due to the gap between imagination and reality…

“I’m actually saying that this is good too. In the existing worldview, if we go with a setting where a person who worked hard becomes disillusioned with the world at some point and turns black, it would be possible to highlight the unique sexiness and decadence of the superhuman. Not only this, but a lot of things that couldn’t be included due to the age limit are included. They won’t be able to find underage kids, but they’ll find them all in the dark anyway… so it’s better, right? Heeheehee!”

“….”

[Is this really the right choice?]

That’s right.

I feel like I pressed the wrong switch.

I also started to get confused.

* * *

I couldn’t stand by and watch as the media owners swept away in droves. So, I was called to the Blue House and had a meeting with the President.

“The culprit who caused a very serious accident has arrived.”

The president also knew that it was I who caused the accident. Well, there is no way the President’s intelligence power can lag behind Shinsung Group. In the world where the Awakened appeared, the president was also the largest guild master in Korea.

Naturally, its information power will be the best in Korea.

I noticed that the seat I always sat next to the President felt empty.

“I feel empty without Director Cheon.”

“It has found its place. Because he was not greedy, he helped me a lot for a long time. “Now I have to play in the big water.”

“I also watched the debate.”

It was literally a plate for Cheon Myeong-guk.

“Honestly, I was impressed too. I barely had time to react, but they counterattacked right away. As a result, the opponent looked embarrassed. “Chief Cheon’s abilities probably stood out even more in the eyes of his supporters.”

The power of the gift of simulation was greater than I thought.

In fact, for hunters who plan thoroughly, simulation was evaluated as efficient because it allowed them to repeat Try&Again without any additional preparation.

I’ve dealt with him a few times, but each time he’s smashed his head, so I honestly didn’t think much of it, but he seemed to shine when not in combat.

“Yes, the reason I called you today is because I have something I want to hear from you.”

“Please speak.”

“Of course you know, but it happened this time.”

Instead of answering, I just shrugged my shoulders.

The president also chuckled.

“I guess the fact that they went ahead and captured the old articles was because they realized it too late or they guessed the timing, right?”

The content of what followed was what standard I was applying.

Although there was no specific wording such as ‘Choi Jun-ho’s Republic’, I guess I thought there was some reason why I took action.

“I found out late. “I found out late because my family didn’t tell me.”

“Right.”

“My thoughts are the same as before. If you get caught, you go. Nothing more, nothing less.”

“It’s the simplest yet most terrifying thing. What I want to ask is the standard. “If you get caught, is it limited to the threat to you and those around you, or is it because you committed a deadly act?”

“Is it because of this incident and the elimination of villains who appeared in the sun?”

“yes. “You need to know your clear stance so that people who deal with you can be careful.”

He said that if this trend continues, there will be many attempts to dig up the opponent’s corruption and report it to me in order to lend my hand to eliminate the competitor.

Although I’m being used, I don’t really have any objections because I’m killing someone who would otherwise kill me.

However, the president does not seem to think so.

“As your role becomes more important, standards become more important. Sometimes it might be annoying and you might want to ignore it. But if everyone who gets caught goes, wouldn’t that mean they’re being taken advantage of by someone? Using your hands without standards will only increase everyone’s anxiety. That would be a bother to you. “The idea is to stop that.”

The President seemed concerned that I might commit a second or third mass murder of media owners.

It felt like the simple and clear principle that I put forward, ‘If you get caught, you go,’ didn’t have a clear standard.

This meant that it had to be stabilized at an appropriate time.

Is there really a need to develop logic?

“I’m sorry, but it’s hard to understand what you just said.”

“I see…”

“In return, I think I can promise you one thing.”

The president doesn’t seem to understand, but I also have standards.

“If the report was made to eliminate a competitor, we will first investigate the reporter. And if that guy sucks, I’ll deal with him first.”

If they were going to take advantage of me, wouldn’t it be natural for them to be prepared to do that and attack me? If you only thought about using someone else’s help to get rid of your opponent and thought that you would be safe, you would be foolish.

Only then did the president’s expression brighten.

“Hehe, one way or another, mass deaths will occur. Still, the person who reported it will refrain from being scared, so the balance will be balanced.”

“It’s not that I like to kill recklessly.”

“Yes, I guess so. “It is my personal opinion that I want to believe that.”

“Because it’s real.”

“Yeah, I hope you’re serious.”

I didn’t seem to believe him, but I wondered if there was any need to persuade him.

“I just have to hold on a little longer, and Director Cheon can handle the rest. “There isn’t much left.”

“….”

[There’s a lot of fuss being made from all directions.]

Yongyong, who was watching, clicked his tongue.

That’s right. Anyone who sees me will think I’m a bomb.

[You’re just a bomb? I have no conscience.]

* * *

After leaving the Blue House, I saw a familiar face for the first time in a long time. It was a meeting with Jeong Da-hyeon.

Jeong Da-hyeon, who went on a long-term business trip to hunt monsters, was showing off her momentum going one step further. Her calmness combined with her well-honed spirit made her look like a well-refined strongwoman.

My face also seems to have become prettier.

If you get stronger, will your natural face bloom more? I approached Jeong Da-hyeon, thinking that this was an amazing thing, as he must have been hunting in a rough place.

“It’s been a while, brother.”

“how have you been doing?”

“Yes, to be exact, I spent it intensely.”

“It seems so.”

“As expected, you can see it right away.”

He looked rather relieved as he said that. It was to the point where I wondered what he was thinking.

“Tell me about how you’ve been.”

“There was nothing special.”

As she spoke, Da-Hyeon Jeong began to talk about the things she hunted while staying in the Yeongdong area.

It is said that while hunting monsters regardless of land or sea, he faced many dangers of death due to various variables, but managed to survive.

In fact, he said that even monsters that are evaluated as low harmful levels have lethal abilities in places where competition for survival is fierce, and that this could be used as an opportunity to strengthen one’s mindset.

Those were words that were truly Jeong Da-hyun’s words, so I thought they achieved this level of success.

In particular, the most intense battle was called the Great Battle of Hamheung, and it was the battle in which a level 8 evil monster appeared when I went to the United States.

This monster named ‘Hye-yum’ is said to have appeared quite a long time ago and is said to be good at fooling around. It is said that he was originally active in the Goseong area, but then disappeared and appeared in Hamheung, where the city was in danger of being taken over.

However, the death-defying team led by Jeong Da-hyun desperately blocked the attack and were able to buy time until Lee Chan-taek arrived.

Dahyun Jeong revealed that she gained a lot of enlightenment during the bloodbath at the time.

“Amazing?”

“In the end, we couldn’t catch the monster.”

“But if it wasn’t for you, a lot of people would have died.”

“That is correct. Still, I’m upset. “If I had been stronger, I would have been able to kill the monster instead of wasting time and prevent greater damage.”

It’s just like Jeong Da-hyun’s words.

Even though he is still considered the strongest in his age group, I liked the way he was thirsty for power.

“You can become stronger.”

“Just those words give me strength.”

You shouldn’t be condescending just by saying things. Then, I suddenly wondered what Dahyun Jeong would think about me getting rid of the media owners.

“Everyone is making a lot of noise about the commotion that happened this time, but aren’t you curious?”

“Yes, these people will probably die anyway.”

It was a simple, clear and powerful answer. Those aren’t actually wrong.

It was an attitude that the old Jeong Da-hyun would never have shown.

The person who was so tightly closed that no compromise was possible was Jeong Da-hyun.

It was a very positive change.

[Isn’t it strange because of you?]

This is strange. How practical has it become? It just looks good.

[It seems to me that you were considering one person.]

That’s just your illusion, Yongyong.

“There are a lot of people who have done deadly things.”

“Yes, sometimes it’s confusing.”

However, he honestly said that he was not sure about having to kill everyone.

Because these are things that can only be done if you have the ability to handle them.

I agree that you will find out when you get stronger.

“Are you sure you have time?”

“why?”

“There’s something I want to show you.”

* * *

The place where Jeong Da-hyeon and I came was Gangwon-do, a place where monsters often appear. The reason I came here is because Jeong Da-hyun said that she had realized something and wanted to show it to me.

I asked to see him in the training room, but he just shook his head.

“It’s impossible without actual combat.”

I thought about using a dog to make it feel like a real fight, but it was the first time Dahyun Jeong said this, so I followed along obediently.

What should I show you?

I was very interested because he was one of the few people I was looking forward to.

“I have to finish it and show it to you, but I’m sorry. “Because we haven’t reached that level yet.”

What Jeong Da-hyeon showed me was how to attack monsters.

It was said that he recently achieved enlightenment and completed it, and seeing as he was quite determined, I was excited to see how far it would go.

The level of the monster I lured is roughly level 7, harmful.

It’s still too much for Jeong Da-hyun to deal with.

No, since I’ve been training steadily for a while, I might be able to handle this.

Big!

The monster that discovered Jeong Da-hyeon went crazy and began to rush towards her.

[Why are you still?]

Yongyong and I, who were watching from a little distance, felt puzzled when we saw Jeong Da-hyeon staying still even as the monster approached. His behavior was different from usual.

It was then.

Sugaaaaaaa!

A force current began to swirl around Jeong Da-hyun’s sword and passed through the space.

And a monster whose upper and lower body separates and falls down.

It happened so quickly that the scene just before seemed unrealistic.

“ha!”

Jeong Da-hyun’s face turned white as she let out a long breath she had been holding.

I was in a state of exhaustion after just one attack.

“This is what I prepared. What do you think?”

[It looks like you used quite a bit of effort, right?]

“….”

Yongyong said that, but I was watching the scene rather seriously.

The force operation condensation ability that Jeong Da-hyeon showed just now was beyond her level.

Jeong Da-hyeon’s current level is 7.

But her current attack is.

“He’s superhuman-level?”

It’s impossible at this level, so how did you do it?

“Can you show me one more time?”

“yes? “I’m exhausted right now…”

“That’s okay.”

I took out the stamina restorer and force restorer I brought with me just in case.

I brought a generous amount and was able to refill as many times as I wanted.

“….”

Jeong Da-hyeon ate what I provided with a somewhat tired expression and attacked once again.

It was certain. Dahyun Jeong was able to explode with power that surpassed her own level.

The closest term would be 1RM.

This somehow seemed like a clue to how it could withstand high-speed flight.
